The Sparrow Hedge

The area between Lake Law and
A.E.Sea consists of a mixture of grasses and scrub with
an old hedgerow forming its southern border. This hedgerow has been dubbed
the "Sparrow Hedge" by the local birding community because of the large numbers
of migrant sparrows that are attracted to it in the fall. These days the whole
area has become much more scrubby than in the past and is maintained in this
transitional state through infrequent burning.

Access to the area is facilitated by a system of trails which start at the
Red Barn. The trail from the Red Barn heads east
around Lake Law and splits just after it starts heading south. The west branch
takes you to the south end of Lake Law and the east branch goes to the south
end of A.E.Sea. Not far along the east branch a third trail splits off and
heads south to the Sparrow Hedge midway between the two lakes. The three trails
are connected by an east-west trail which runs along the Sparrow Hedge. That
trail continues west past the south end of Lake Law and eventually ends up at
Eola Rd. It also continues east to pass between
Sea-of-Evanescence and A.E.Sea,
where it turns north toward and eventually reaches Batavia Rd. east of
A.E.Sea.
